Quantum tunnelling for space travel...
#2
RE: Quantum tunnelling for space travel...
The scales are wrong for larger particles in a construct that must have its shape preserved as-is.

We could try tunneling your body through a wall, but a near insignificant fraction would get through and it would be a disorganized mass.

You'll have more luck with a man-sized blender set to "Frappe".

Scientifically:

You can tunnel on a single particle basis. The larger the particle, the less likely it gets through.

Tunneling probability quickly approaches zero when mass increases and/or at large length scales.
